There are many historical records of the famous generals of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the most famous of which are Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijin Zhijie, and Wei Chi Jingde. Both the Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang record all three of them. In addition, in the rendition, their ending is very good, and they have been running with Li Shimin on the East expedition to the west, and they also appeared during the Wu Zetian period. In the main history, the longest-lived of these three famous generals, Cheng Yaojin, lived to be 77 years old, and Qin Qiong died first, followed by Wei Chigong. Next, Xiaobian will talk about the real life of the three of them in their later years in history, which is still different from the TV series.
Many people think that Wei Chigong is more stupid, but in fact he is not stupid, just a little stunned. One of the most beautiful things he did in his life was to marry his granddaughter to Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaidao, which made Qin Qiong have to call out "Uncle Wei Chi Shi". However, Wei Chigong was not as indifferent to fame and fortune as Qin Qiong, because when Li Shimin invited him, he arranged his seats relatively far back, and he did it very inkblotishly and complained, so Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng below him, persuaded him, and as a result, he was punched in the eye by Wei Chigong, and his eyes were almost blinded, which made Li Shimin really want to kill his heart. Because Wei Chigong's personality was too high, his temper was too straight, he had almost no friends in the imperial court, the enemy had established many, and finally he was falsely accused of rebellion, so he took off his clothes, and the heavens were all wounded in battle, and he escaped the disaster. Since then, he has been so frightened that he does not even dare to go out of the door, the armor is no longer worn, he wears the Robe, eats the powder of mica graphite, and after 16 years, then why does Wei Chigong paint the ground so much? It seems that Wei Chigong's later life was not very good, which was indeed a bit inferior to the enviable ending of Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin.
After saying Wei Chigong, let's continue to talk about Cheng biting gold, Cheng biting gold is not like selling firewood and using an axe like in the rendition. He and Qin Qiong's fellow villager in Shandong, Qin Qiong became famous in a battle against Lu Mingyue, and became a lieutenant of Zhengliupin Jianjie in Jianya Kaifu, and Cheng Yaojin gathered hundreds of people to fight against various anti-kings. If Qin Qiong is the division commander of the regular army, then Cheng Yaojin is the commander of the people, but this commander still has to be managed by the division commander, which is why the relationship between Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong is the most ironclad. Cheng Biting Jin was 9 years older than Li Shimin, and Cheng Biting Jin and Li Shimin also became relatives, so when Emperor Gaozong of Tang became emperor, he became the emperor's second great-uncle. Cheng biting gold is very greedy, originally Li Yuan Li Shimin father and son gave him money, he can not spend it in ten lifetimes. However, when the second great master went to attack the Western Turk Helu again, he chased after the city of Qidu and did not leave, he entered the city to grab the money and burn down the house, and Helu also fled. Because of his wealth and indulgence, he was severely punished and suspended from his post to investigate. Within a few days, he went to Qi Prefecture as an assassin, and he was still a feudal official. But no one questioned the money he had stolen. Thinking that he had a bunch of gold and silver mountains, his old age must have been a happy life.
Finally, let's talk about Qin Shubao, Qin Shubao's later life is also quite comfortable. Because he had endless money, endless drinks, and countless confidants and friends, and he never participated in the disputes of the imperial court. Find people to drink and chat anytime and anywhere, including Li Yuan, who became the Emperor Taishang. Moreover, who Qin Shubao poured wine to whom he had to stand up and pick it up, and some even knelt down to pick it up, mainly because Tang Taizong Li Yuan gave him a golden pot, which had the meaning of being like a person, from which it could be found that Qin Shubao's life was still very elegant and moist.
